St. Dymphna’s
“Lit by blacklights and loaded with chalk, you're allowed to express yourself as freely as you would like on any wall.”
“Between the candles on the tables, the music (they always have a great playlist going), the friendly bartenders, you're hard pressed to find another 'homey' bar on St. Marks.”
“Anyplace with Magners on tap instantly makes me joyous, so I admit this review may be a bit biased.”

$4 drafts and happy hour til 8. At least it's Til 8 according to my girlfriend.
Everything was fine, and the girls and I were catching up in our corner table.. Until…
We went to the bar to get our happy hour beer on tap. I'm sorry that I'm one of those people who just don't carry cash. I ordered a drink and whipped out my CC and opted to close my tab. It was at that time one of my gfs decided to just pay for me with her cash (thanks jerkface!), but the bartender just haddddd to chime in. What did he say to irk me? "Yeah cash would be better.. Because $4 on a card is kind of annoying.". YEAH? Well your face is annoying!
Don't have the heart to give them 2 stars simply bc this is my friend's "favorite bar"… ….. Her taste is quite questionable at this point tho.
The only Irish bar ive been to with Cuban Sandwiches. Decent vibe, good happy hour and friendly staff.
This is a good local bar with a fun ambiance, but the bar area was super cramped because the wall is too close to the actual bar. I was with a group of about 10, and we had to spread out.
The beer selection is good and the bartenders were very nice.
Dark and dive-y, but a good place to grab a drink after work or hang out with friends! I got there around 9PM on a weekday night, and the bar area was surprisingly packed. Thankfully, there is also a small seating area in the back for folks looking to have dinner or just be out of the way of everyone else.
I'm not particularly a fan of Irish Pubs, so St. Dymphna's didn't really make an impression. Similarly, the exterior of this pub kind of blends in with the rest of the bars in the area, so unless you know specifically what you are looking for, you'll probably walk right by St. Dymphna's without even noticing it.
I love this bar. It's dark, it's a dive, and it's an awesome place to have a few drinks with friends. It's very casual – not one of those fancy bars where you feel awkward in jeans. They have a great DJ/playlist who plays a variety of new and old music that everyone can sing along to. The mixed drinks are delicious, and they have a nice selection of beers on tap. The bartenders are attentive – you won't wait too long for a drink. We'll be back for sure.
Super casual and small authentic East Village pub. We came in here for drinks on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed ourselves. $4 draft happy hour is always a good thing.
Friendly and attentive bartenders. Cozy atmosphere but fun nonetheless.
I used to go there but recently I brought 2 girl friends and the barman didn't pay attention to us he was even rude.
I'm more than disappointed because when you bring friends you expect the same service as you use to have generally
St. Dymphna is the patron saint of the mentally ill and of victims of incest. A 7th Century Irish born Christian saint whom this bar/ Irish pub is named after.
Wait service is very limited as my party of two placed our drink orders at the bar despite of sitting at a table. We had to flag a waiter numerous times who was difficult to attain his attention in taking our respective entrees. Atmospheric conditions are boisterously loud with the constant chatter of patrons in a dark, dingy divey-like bar setting. My Cos Cobb salad is abundant in portion and good value for the price. My friend's Chicken Pot Pie was served without the crock pot non-traditional on a plate. He, unfortunately, cracked his tooth from this Chicken Pot Pie entrée. No alcohol libations for either of us. My Shirley Temple drink was okay. Price is reasonable. Table service is limited. Their dinner menu is limited. This bar is best for an after-work hangout for libations only. No business cards- do not request for one as there are none.
